    General RIP Gerry Summers

    The changing rooms moved from the corner stand to Beech Road in '75. Initially, there was just a tunnel for the players to access the pitch, with the Manager, Mr Fish, and the Sub still walking across the pitch. This pic from 1978 is the earliest I can find with a pic of the Beech Rd dugouts...

    Question from Robin re debt TW: Who here has a mortage? Debt isn't a problem. Unsustainable debt is a problem, and lenders won't lend to something unsustainable. GF: Reiterates why a separate company is a good thing, as it protects OUFC from that debt.

    Question re Finacial Losses from Colin B TW won't say what the losses are. Got a bit techy. GF: What is your point regarding the question? Colin B concerned losses are building every year as soft debt. TW: I can't answer that as not a shareholder.

    Question regarding fan engagement and things to do around the stadium pre/post match. TW. It's down to costs. Would need to sell another 5K tickets to make it worthwhile (assume Firoka charging rent for Boxpark?)

    From Oxford Mail Statement from the floor about the current negative, flat experience at the Kassam Stadium. JG: “Look around. The young are the ones who create the atmosphere, but where are they? “I would welcome any ultra group or singing group, but I can’t talk to every kid on the street.”...

    From Oxford Mail AB: “If I look at the supporters’ panel and OxVox, there is engagement and they hold us to account 24/7. “If OxVox and OUSP are a representation of the fanbase, there is not an apathy.”

    From Oxford Mail Question: Is there a disconnect, and a ‘them and us’ atmosphere? GF: “There may be a degree of disconnect, but I don’t understand how that translates to the Kassam. “I guarantee you the players are trying. It’s at the times when they’re not getting it right, they need that support.”

    Communication. TW. Agrees that the club has not got it right. He doesn't think it's been meaningful. He listened to himself on Rad Ox FMFF and bored himself! Wants a dedicated Supporter Liason Officer. Not all about GF or TW. It's disingenuous to say comms is bad. Feed dropped offline :mad:

    Q. Regarding accommodating older supporters (1893 club etc). AB. We're not designing 'bog standard' concourses. The stadium will be far superior to now, and it will be an 'experience' and far more comfortable. TW. Accessibility is at the top of the agenda; it will be world-class standards.

    Plan B? GF. Not a lot of options. He wouldn't like to guess what plan B might be. The focus is entirely on the triangle. Cannot think of an alternative site. No other viable long-term option.

    Stadium Interesting question about safe standing area and home end having a higher roof and thus "less atmosphere." The stadium chap says that while the roof is higher, it pitches downwards, while the lower roof in the away end pitches up.
